Radia Perlman's Interconnections is recognized as a leading text on networking theory and practice. It provides authoritative and comprehensive information on general networking concepts, routing algorithms and protocols, addressing, and the mechanics of bridges, routers, switches, and hubs. This Second Edition is expanded and updated to cover the newest developments in the field, including advances in switching and bridge technology, VLANs, Fast Ethernet, DHCP, ATM, and IPv6. Additional new topics include IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet. You will gain a deeper understanding of the range of solutions possible and find valuable information on protocols for which documentation is not readily available elsewhere.
Written by the inventor of many of the algorithms that make switching and routing robust and efficient, Interconnections, Second Edition offers an expert's insight into how and why networks operate as they do. Perlman describes all of the major networking algorithms and protocols in use today in clear and concise terms, while exploring the engineering trade-offs that the different approaches represent.
The book contains extensive coverage of such topics as:
- The spanning tree algorithm
- The differences between bridges, routers, and switches
- Virtual LANs (VLANs) and Fast Ethernet
- Addressing and packet formats for IP, IPv6, IPX, CLNP, AppleTalk, and DECnet
- Autoconfiguration of addresses; strategies in various protocol suites
- Routing protocols, including RIP, IS-IS, OSPF, PNNI, NLSP, and BGP
- Layer 3 multicast protocols, including IGMP, DVMRP, MOSPF, CBT, PIM, BGMP, Simple Multicast, and Express
- Sabotage-proof routing
- Protocol design folklore

Simply the best!
This book is the best source of information about routing! You can't be wrong with this one ... reading it is a pleasure, Radia explains it all with terrific clarity and completeness. A must for every programmer who have to deal with networks, and a very good reference also. An artwork!
May 11, 2003 A review from los angeles
one of the best!
I can't emphasize how well written this book is. I've really enjoyed reading it and wish perlman would write another book!
to sum up this book, it describes networking from a fundamental 'why' and 'how come' approach. its not meant to pass a certification, but rather to really learn the subject of networking. great book!
Jul 7, 2002 Jay Etchings CCNP, MCSE from Las Vegas
This book is a must have in your Library!
Radia Perlman has a unique ability to deliver content that otherwise could be beyond dull in a manner that is not only interesting but humorous.
Interconnections is the most in depth text on bridging techniques and routing and switching algorithms written to date.
Perlman is the architect of the spanning tree algorithm. She has insight to political issues regarding standards bodies that will inspire you to think far beyond routing and switching.
I read many books and then trade or sell them off used. This book however will own a permanent place in my collection. If you are a candidate for the CCNP or CCIE and do not have this book, BUY IT NOW! You will thank me later.
Apr 13, 2002 Reader From CA... from Bayarea, CA
Best book on interconnections
You don't have to read 100+ pages of RFCs or ISO documents. This book captures the crux in depth with all garbage left out. In essence this is the best book I have ever read. Great book covering both bridges and routers. Especially the spanning tree algo and realted description, routing algo and design and development of Link State routing is great.
Radia perlamn is great. You will love this book for her knowledge in both bridging and IS-Is routing area, after all she played a great role in development of both of these.
